7:20AM edit for time period and snow amount<\/p>\n
A large storm system will crank its way into New England today, then sit, spin, and decay over the region on Thursday, before wandering away to the east as February turns to March. This time, mild ocean air will prevent snow for much of the forecast area, with only far northwestern Middlesex County through the Worcester Hills and up into the southwestern through south central NH seeing some accumulating snow (points west and north of here will have even more significant snow). Quite a bit of rain may be falling for the morning commute in the Boston and Providence areas on Wednesday, so keep this in mind if you will be out there. Rain will taper and become more showery (snow far to the northwest will become spotty mix\/rain showers) by later Wednesday through Thursday, but later Thursday night, colder air will work back in and things will switch back over to snow showers, which will last through early Friday. Enough snow may fall to bring minor accumulation early Friday to southeastern NH through northeastern MA (not looking like a big deal at this time). And I know some of you won’t believe me, but it looks like we may have a storm-free weekend (additional storminess remaining far offshore). The down side is that it will likely be on the chilly side to start the month of March.<\/p>\n
